I started to read this book 32 years ago, but part of it was missing so couldn't finish. Thanks to Amazon I was finally able to find a copy and read it. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of Moorcock's better books. Ah well!

Sure it was written in the sixties. Yes, nicotine is bad and marijuana is good. Yes we have colonized other planets and hop from one continent to another in our rocket cars. But people are still the same idiots as they are today. Living on the verge of hysteria following the most popular hype of the time. And the ending had to be the worst. There is no reason for anyone to read this book other than to get a perspective of the future from a 1965 point-of-view.

This book is also called The Fireclown, and that is the first version that I saw. The Fireclown is a force for change, a chaotic agent with an agenda all his own.

He comes into a static situation politically, and shakes it up, bigtime. Not too many appreciate him for what he is.
